Sharepoint library permissions and folder permissions

Question

if i want to give sub folder read or contribute permissions, by default on the library limited access placed and we have to give atlease read so that user can access the sub folder in that library is there any option that we give permission on sub folder
and it automatically updated on the top?

question 2

if we create sub folder or folder in document library it automatically create the permission of document library

is there a way that folder and sub folder should not take the inheritance automatically user should give them manually raather then creating unique and removing the users which we dont want?

All replies

Folders when created will always inherit their permissions from the Folder or Library that they are in. There is no way to setup default permissions on a folder when it is created. Nor is there anyway to automatically break inheritance and
force the user to choose. This would require some kind of custom programming.
